I am from wales thanks for filming this. The daily life of people going about their business is fascinating to me. It is a window into the american city's and how they operate. I deeply regret not going to America when i was younger.❤Ruth
Blessed Rising from NYC via NYU solid video from a locals viewpoint. We get to see the real California as the majestic gem of the West Coast #RESPECT the videogropher did a OUTSTANDING job from a journalistic prospective (The Great State of California is represented well by this channel) #RESPECT
Thanks so much for this video. I lived in San Francisco and Oakland thirty years ago. I frequently went to the Mission District for great food!! I live in Philadelphia now and I miss the area so very much❤❤
Being born in San Francisco in 1936, I remember the days when the Grand and the New Mission and the El Capitan were active movie houses. As a kid, I went to the movies with my brother to see serial, cartoon and two cowboys on Saturdays and with the family on Sunday. Mission St. was a different world in those days: more American and less Latino. Frankly, the Latinos have made Mission enterprising! I give them credit!
Used to work on and walk up and down this street all the time nearly 10 years ago. When you were coming up on Duc Loi, my favorite store, I just saw the windows graffitied up and was so scared that it had closed down, but then you turned around and walked straight in 😭😭👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 love that grocery store so much, can’t wait to grab a banh mi next time I’m in the neighborhood
Historically, Mission District has been occupied with lower income groups. They are mostly Hispanics, Filipinos, and other Asian nationalities. What's the main difference between this sector compares to the Tenderloin District and the high end area like the Embarcadero area! This group are traditionally proud hard working people and Mission Street business' mostly cators to their needs. You won't see homeless camps, tents like in the Tenderloin District where people relies on handouts, free money, free hyperdermic needles but not work, Nor it's like the Embarcadero street where high rent, low customers forced all the business and malls closed, all the way to the Fisherman's Wharf. All the iconic Italian Seafood restaurants that once made SF Fisherman's Wharf famous were all closed. The only area remain open are the Pier 39 restaurants and the cheap made in China soverneer shops.
seems kinda a little bit dangerous still. I think there was a shooting that killed someone in a barber shop and another shooting from inside a muni bus killing someone outside this year
I know. I love Mission District still. Hoping things will get better. Locals are hardworking people but there’s too many controversies around Calle 24.
San Francisco has pretty much been this way since the 60s only difference is people are leaving California since the price of living is insane so it is easy for the homeless to be there and there's tons of soup kitchens and help there .
@@kaleidoscopesthirdeyevizions Glad the poor are being fed a shelter system would be nice like other states. I guess Cali has their reasons for leaving HUMANS in the streets. Stray animals ie dogs have the right to shelter. Go figure God bless the poor I prey
this is so refreshing compared to videos that depict a dying san francisco. one showed an empty street, while mission district seems to have many open businesses.
Imagine a young Santana strolling by. It used to happen. Wow, all that fruit outside. Wonder how much the lose to thieves? Best weather anywhere there!
I currently live in San Francisco and I cover a Verizon store on this street. You have definitely captured the mission district after they banned most of the street markets. The ban has slowed down the thefts. Still a lot of thefts but not nearly as much as what occurred following the covid epidemic. By the way San Francisco is still one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen but most people only portray the bad areas which are very few.
My family used to lived in San Francisco and worked at Yerba Buena bowling center, quit then worked with 2 more business co. Then I decided to move to Las Vegas NV California is so expensive that I have to pay 2 taxes federal and state taxes in Nevada I only pay 1 it's federal tax. I left s.f. leaving behind my dad, mom and my brother. Now they went to heaven.
I grew up in the mission as a little boy in the 80's and 90's. I used to play all over there. i must say it has changed a lot - for the better i guess. It used to be really gang infested. But now it's truly been gentrified. I remember the Latino, culture was strong in the 80's and 90's, you can smell it, hear it. The essence is mostly gone now. However the Mission District is still the Mission.
Hey! What's up? Just decided to subscribe your channel ' cause it looks valid ! And I love the States and one of my favorites is San Francisco! Seems awesome place full of culture!!! Reminds me New York a little bit, another my dream city!!!
Best looking street I’ve seen in the videos of. Calif. glad they haven’t all gone to pot poor areas don’t have to be trash and garbage heaps. It just depends on the people and if it’s drug infested.
This video starts at 24th & Mission where shoplifters from nearby Safeway at 30th & Mission would drop off from the Muni bus and immediately met by mostly hispanics to buy whatever they stole from the store. No repercussions from the city and police, what do you expect?
😮I left California when Dan White murdered Harvey Milk & the Mayor. I spent a lot of my free time exploring the mission district. It was a great community at the time. Thank you for your time and effort. Great Video! 😎🏝️🤙
People can thank Palosi & nuesom for the demise of San Fran Sico. I never plan to visit any slum state that can't see past their noses of the disgusting state they have created
Back in the 70s, 80s, 90s were mostly gangsters land and fight. Then became more homeless and selling stolen goods. They’ve just cleaned up about 3 months ago. It looks a lot more better to me when I was traveling along Mission street yesterday. I bought some to go Mexican foods and some sea foods from Sun Fat fish market. 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Remember the “Guardian Angels” trying to protect Mission street?
